Abstract

Generally U-slotted patch antenna with PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) ground plane is used for mobile telecommunication. However the improvement of the bandwidth is required to enlarge the capability of mobile telecommunication, In this paper, U-slotted patch antenna with EBG(Electromagnetic Band-Gap) ground plane is proposed to enlarge thr bandwidth and its radiation characteristics are investigated. To conform the bandwidth improvement, two kinds of U-slotted patch antennas with EBG and PEC ground plane are designed, fabricated, and radiation characteristics are measured. It is shown that the proposed antenna is wider than U-slotted patch antenna with PEC ground plane in bandwidth.

이동 통신용 안테나로 PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) 접지면을 갖는 U-slotted 패치 안테나가 널리 이용되고 있으나, 이동 통신 능력을 확대하기 위하여 대역폭의 개선이 요구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 대역폭을 확대하기 위하여 EBG(Electromagnetic Band-Gap) 접지면을 갖는 U-slotted 패치 안테나를 제안하고, 그 복사 특성을 고찰하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 EBG 접지면을 갖는 U-slotted 패치 안테나의 대역폭이 개선됨을 보이기 위하여 EBG와 PEC 접지면을 갖는 두 가지 형태의 U-slotted 패치 안테나를 설계 제작하고 복사 특성을 측정하였다. 측정결과, EBG 접지면을 갖는 U-slotted 패치 안테나가 PEC 접지면을 갖는 안테나보다 대역폭이 넓은 것으로 확인되었다.
